Fairy tales are more than true: not because
they tell us that dragons exist, but because
they tell us that dragons can be beaten.


-- G. K. Chesterton

I found this particularly interesting because I wonder what it might say about Chesterton's Christianity. I have taken him to be a full-blooded believer, not blanching before the most astounding calls for supernaturalism. Could I be mistaken in that? Could it be that he believes Christianity is true because of the hope it gives to believers?

Knocked over my glass of half-melty ice.

I hate that.

I like to finish off the ice myself
sucking off the coolness
letting it melt in my mouth.
